Unknown to many, the 32-year-old socialite, whose real name is Angela Renee White, was a former exotic dancer. Her name Blac Chyna was the same name she used when she was working in a strip bar.

On how she got that name, the former stripper met a man with that nickname and asked if she can borrow it. This man eventually gave his blessing to her to use his name.

Before she renamed herself Blac Chyna, she previously used Cream and Dora Renee as her stripper names. But because her past names did not ring a bell, she settled on Blac Chyna.

After the couple’s split, the show was also canceled. Blac Chyna, who did not have child support from Rob, reportedly sued the Kardashians for being involved in the show’s cancellation.
